Fantasising about a fictional character!!

HensTeeth44 · 16/04/2021 10:24

I need your help and to know if I am a complete lunatic and BVU or if this is something that happens to other people.

I have always had a very overactive imagination and have a tendancy to daydream but this is the first time (in adulthood anyway) that I have developed a full on obsession with a fictional character. Not the actor who plays this character, but the character himself! Last night I found myself googling this character and falling into the rabbit hole of the Internet and finding reams of erotic fan fiction. I am ashamed to say I found myself still awake at 2am after reading through tons these short stories Blush call me niave but I had no idea this stuff existed before! I feel such a dork!

Am I abnormal? What does this say about this verging on middle-aged married mother? My marriage and sex life are good, I love my husband and find him very attractive, I don't feel depressed or lonely. What is going on?! Grin

Love Snape. Can't believe no one's mentioned Tyrion Lannister yet though! I adore Peter Dinklage Blush

Just watched this week's Falcon & The Winter Soldier.

I think I feel some Sam/Bucky slash coming on Grin

Ooh yes. Been there. If I go and fall down a SS rabbit hole tonight I will blame you OP!

Oh god, Lord Verinari from the Discworld novels! He's so sexy!

HettySunshine · 16/04/2021 20:35

PurpleFlower1983 · 16/04/2021 20:44

Jaime Lannister for me! And going back a bit Fox Mulder...Grin

PurpleFlower1983 · 16/04/2021 20:46

I discovered fan fiction during the first lockdown and subsequently neglected my children through it Blush
I regressed back to my 13 year old obsessive self Grin

@Curlyhairedbrummie

A few months ago I had no idea who the Avengers where, never heard of them! But now ds and dh are getting into the films and I sat down to watch one and oh my word I just fell in love with Captain America! 😍😍
Have you ever seen the ads Chris Evans did for Gucci guilty - I think they could make women spontaneously ovulate.
TheRogueApostrophe · 16/04/2021 22:06

I am in love with Klaus Mikaelson who is a fictional character and a mythical creature!

Yep. I've recently been daydreaming (I wouldn't say maladaptive) about one of the TVD characters. It makes my walks more interesting 🤣

VashtaNerada · 16/04/2021 22:09

@PurpleFlower1983 Both of those are in my list too!

DoreenWinkings · 16/04/2021 22:36

Definitely Rupert Campbell-Black, for shame.

Or Greebo. As a man like, not as a cat. I imagine he's pure filth 😍

Fyredraca · 16/04/2021 22:37

Rust Cohle from True Detective. Not Matthew McConaughey.
Also Lord of the Rings and Silmarillion stories but only if they involve Boromir. Can't stand Legolas.
The worst is slash of Legolas and Gimli, though it's apparently VERY popular.
I am so glad the internet was invented.

DoreenWinkings · 16/04/2021 22:40

And I've just remembered I had a spate of terribly erotic dreams about Edmund Blackadder a few years back.

I still would

I do this all the time, I just assumed everyone did 🤣🤣🤣

Listen to Outlander series as audiobook. Very fiery for the imagination

@Bang4Bond

Does anyone admit this in real life ? Apart from on here
With my friend who writes fan fiction, yes. With everyone else, no!!!

I’ve seen things online about Legolas and Gimli but I haven’t read any fan fics about them. Not a pairing for me! I don’t like slash fics when it’s not in keeping with the original story though as a general rule.

The speculation around Legolas and Gimli kind of ruins the LOTR franchise and I absolutely love those films.
